They came for him one winters night
Arrested he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
His pistol had been found

They marched him to the station house
They waited for the dawn
and as they lead him to the dock
He knew that he'd been wronged

He stands accused of robbery
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
Tomorrows light would mourn his freedom

Over the hills and far away
For ten long years he'll count the days
Far from the mountains and the seas
A prisoners life for him there'll be

He knew that it would cost him dear
But yet he dare not say
Where he had been that faithful night
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend
he spent his final night of freedom

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
Over the mountains and the seas
back in her arms is where he'll be

Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and
Over the hills and
Over the hills and far away

Each night within his prison cell
He looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
one day he'll know the taste of freedom
Over the hills and far away
She prays he'll return one day
As sure as the rivers meet the seas
Back in his arms is where she'll be

Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
Over the mountains and the seas
back in her arms is where he'll be

Over the hills and far away
She prays he'll be
As sure as the rivers meet the seas
Back in his arms is where she'll be

Over the hills
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills
Over the hills and far away...
